Our Woodshop


Our woodshop looks to appeal to a wide range of users, whether you want to produce hand-crafted items to sell, make gifts for friends and family (or yourself), or have simply always wanted to learn to use tools. Our classes will help the complete novice gain comfort with multiple tools while we guide you through basic projects; more advanced classes to explore the full capabilities of different tools are in the works.

Members may begin the checkout process by reviewing the Woodshop Orientation document and answering several basic questions in an “open book” format. Contact the #woodshop channel in our Slack community.
